Offline reading good? Good. Matt Cutts is conducting an unofficial poll of most desired new feature for [...]
Google’s enduring love
Well, a specific portion of the webnet is talking about the latest big change to Google’s ranking algorithms that seem to have spanked many of the most prominent websites. You, my valued ad-clicking reader, will be relieved… relieved to know that the pagerank of this very site stands firm at a modest, but increasingly interesting [...]
Ads: Google v. Everyone
Google’s big. Everyone knows it, and they got big because of online ads. Everyone wants a piece of that pie, but sadly, all they’re getting is crumbs. There’s a lot of competition in the space, but none of it is very successful, Microsoft certainly isn’t. Panama is seeing some signs of life in the Yahoo [...]
Gmail gets IMAP?? What the hell took so long.
UPDATE: Well, it looks like Gmail does support IDLE. Super! It doesn’t support the /Recent flag. Although, to be honest, I’m not sure if that’s a big deal or not. Sadly, it still hasn’t rolled out to my account.

That started the li’l rodents going in the hamster wheel that is my brain - shortly after it came out some more details emerged suggesting that Google Gears integration and account activity logs would be at least two [...]
Online Office App Pileup!
Well I guess there’s a battle for the next generation Office Suite. Google opened a crack in the armor of Microsoft’s monopoly cow, it’s office suite and now everyone wants a piece of that proverbial pie. Google’s piling more and more in there with a word processor, spreadsheet, calendar, mail and now even presentation applications. [...]
Joel on Google
I was reading this piece from Joel Spolsky on why he thinks Google is the new IBM, and not in a good way. The new IBM poised to be toppled by an upstart new Microsoft. It’s an interesting set of work, but I don’t agree with almost anything he says.

Google Webmaster tools got an update and a facelift
The other day Google Webmaster Tools got a bit of an update and a facelift. Mostly it’s the same, but a slightly cleaner look (although still not consistent with any of the other Google apps) and a little more functionality.
The cleaner look is nice, I must admit - previously it was really kind of [...]
